Okay well the OpenAI CMO is hopping on now and it is obvious that Anthropic hurt them and they were deeply unprepared

It remains disconcerting to me that Stalin's cult of personality has outlasted Lenin's, largely on the basis of Stalinism as murder cult.

This is actually a warning sign for the Democrats because of the huge opportunity Republicans have to change everything about how they are and the things they believe. They just need to completely flip their whole deal and get the president on board before midterms. This is bad news for Dems

I woke up this morning feeling dysregulated as hell. And I had 53 years of preparation. I feel for the kids.

Dems should demand a full ICE withdrawal from Minneapolis as a condition for any deal. Please, just give us this. Get them out

There’s just zero excuse for any Democrat to not support Abolish ICE at this point when even Republicans are laying the groundwork to throw the entire agency under the bus. It needs to be a litmus test in every single primary race this year, I don’t care if it’s a red district or not.

At least 40 people have been killed by ICE and Border Patrol or otherwise died in their custody since Trump took office in 2025. Say their names.

One of the more incoherent things I see from people online is to “ask an expert” instead of using ChatGPT. In my years of experience doing this, most experts tell you to go look up the answer to the question instead, often rudely. So is it that surprising people turn to a chatbot?

what I worry about, and anecdotally have sorta started seeing, is that the "you don't have to know how to code at all!" thing is imputing a level of care and seriousness to what Anthropic et al are putting out there, and that things like their marketplace aren't just "here it is" but "this is good"

This is going to sound crazy but I think "energy field" people who go based on vibes are on to something. I think they've created a sort of mathematical construct in their head + mistakenly imputing it onto reality, but modeling competence, positivity, or other attributes as or networks makes sense

I'm really tired right now but this Ray dalio book that's coming out is complete cherry picked bullshit right? I mean I respected the guy in his team did a lot of research. But it kind of sounds like if you squint data long enough you Will find a pattern.
